TV characters keeping secrets is not new. This much is obvious. They help advance the narrative, but some characters are a little bit darker. That may be a cause for concern, but with secrets even darker, it makes for some great TV. Have a look at the 13 characters we've rounded up who have even darker secrets. 1. Laurel Castillo – How to Get Away with Murder Laurel first appeared as one of the most delightful characters on all of TV, but as How to Get Away Murder has progressed, the darkness inside her has intensified. She started lying to her friends and disappeared the moment the truth about just how effed up her family really is came to light. 2. Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke – Revenge Amanda Clarke posed as Emily Thorne in the Hamptons for four seasons on Revenge. Her mission was clear: To take down every single person who caused problems for her family. She had a lot of secrets and was willing to get her hands dirty to pull off the ultimate revenge plan. 3. Lucious Lyon – Empire Lucious is always scheming. He lies to get his point across and hides a lot from his family. He’s the worst. 4. Georgina Sparks – Gossip Girl Georgina was Gossip Girl for a short spell, but she made a big mistake. Having as many secrets as she does and spilling the tea about everyone else caught up with her in the end. 5. Blake Carrington – Dynasty This is the man who swindled his ex-wife of her livelihood. He wouldn’t give a damn about hurting one of his offspring in the name of increasing his power. It’s sad. It makes sense then that he has a lot of skeletons in his closet. 6. Sabrina Spellman – Chilling Adventures of Sabrina On the surface, Sabrina may seem like the girl next door. In reality, she’s a teenage witch and worships the Dark Lord. Despite trying to stay on the side of good, she’s just a thread away from being pulled on the path of darkness. View Slideshow
Well, the internet called this one. According to reports from Page Six , it is finally confirmed that Ariana Grande is dating Mikey Foster of the pop duo group Social House. And apparently, the two “have been seeing each other for a while now,” an insider told the publication. Fans, who are truly the best detectives, began speculating their romance after they released the steamy music video for their new song “Boyfriend.” To be fair, there was some obvious chemistry between the two and um, hello, the title of the song is also a major give away! But after Grande released behind-the-scenes footage from the set, fans were even more on board with this new coupling. Grande and Foster shared some pretty playful and intimate moments, from flirting, to laughing, to touching — they made it pretty clear that they are crushing hard on each other. Ari even runs and jumps into Mikey’s arms at the end of the video, and although it could have been planned, it successfully portrayed a rather candid and sweet moment. And while the singers have yet to confirm their relationship, The Blast and Page Six have reported that they are, indeed, together. The Blast shared that their friendship has “taken a passionate new turn in the recent months” and even if they aren’t officially BF/GF, they may just be keeping things casual. Smart. Social House did give us some insight into their history, explaining how the group met the pop star during a recent Q&A. “Ari was very polite and generous and opened the door to us and we started working together,” Mikey said. This isn’t the first time they have worked together though, apparently, the group also helped with tracks “Thank U, Next” and “Seven Rings.” I don’t think anyone would be too shocked at this information (assuming it’s true) , because Ari has been known to date artists that she works with. But the timing does seem a tad off. With the performer recently opening up about how much of a toll her Sweetener tour as taken on her mental health , and with her European end of the tour coming up, we’re wondering how she is balancing all on her plate? But after a fan asked what inspired her to create the song “Boyfriend”, her explanation makes this information all seem pretty valid. “Well, i feel like the song captures a common theme in the lives of so many people i know! people want to feel love but don’t want to define their relationship & have trouble fully committing or trusting or allowing themselves to fully love someone, even tho they want to,” she shared. Yep, we’re convinced. This is the songstress’ first official romance since her split from Pete Davidson this past fall. So, here’s to hoping this one doesn’t end in a failed engagement and another thank u, next. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande vs. Pete Davidson: Whose Side Should You Take In This Ugly Breakup?
Kim Kardashian to the rescue! Not only has the mega-famous reality star been able to prove herself useful by creating a gorgeous makeup line and setting jail prisoners free, but now she can add saving dumb floundering businesses to her resume. Rob Kardashian’s Halfway Dead clothing line has stood true to its’ name and well, has been suffering. But thanks to sister Kim, things are starting to look up! According to Radar Online , the company was near collapse when Rob, 32, and his business partners were accused of ripping off a skull logo from another brand. Luckily, Momager Kris Jenner (ok, she’s the real hero here) ordered his sisters to promote the clothing line to bring in more customers following the copyright issue. And of course, taking into consideration the popularity and fame of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, it worked. But it didn’t take all 5 of the sisters to give a simple shout out on social media, instead, Kim Kardashian was able to revive the company all on her own. On Thursday, August 1, Kim took to Instagram to post a photo of herself rocking one of Rob’s signature tees, which also happens to be the same shirt Kylie Jenner posed in when the brand launched back in July. In the caption of the photo, Kim decided to keep it short and sweet, writing, “Halfway-Dead.com.” Naturally, the 38-year-old’s post received all the love. And fortunately for Rob, business quickly began booming. “Sales skyrocketed and they are nearly sold out of every single item in stock!” an insider told Radar. “Of course Kim is taking full credit for saving Rob’s clothing line, Rob really had to swallow his pride on this one, but it wasn’t hard.” “Kim made him so wealthy in just one weekend. He is so grateful,” added the source. And the middle Kardashian sister is feeling pretty grateful, too… for her social media power. “Kim is really gloating on this because she wants everyone to know that, when Kylie tried promoting Rob’s brand wearing the same shirt she wore, the sales overall were nowhere near what they were these past few days,” said the insider. “Kim knows that she has the most social media influence and it is really important to her ego that she feels like the most powerful Kardashian.” Come on, we all know she is — especially lately with her ongoing fight for criminal justice reform . And now she has saved the day once again! Besides Kim, Rob’s other sisters also care about his wellbeing and just want to see him happy and healthy again, especially for the sake of his daughter Dream. But finally, after months of dealing with custody battles and self-destructive behaviors, things look like they might actually be turning around for the 32-year-old. According to another report from Radar Online , the father of one is “determined to take back the throne” by getting back in shape physically and being more financially stable . “Rob has quit drinking and partying and he has let go of his bitter resentment against all of his family members,” shared an insider. We’re glad Rob is finally on the same page with the rest of the world and realizes that it is ok to keep up with his sisters. (Especially the ones that make him money, @ Kim.)

Tyler Cameron may have scored a date with supermodel Gigi Hadid, but he may have just lost his chance of handing out roses on next season of The Bachelor. *grabs the tissue box* Host Chris Harrison seemingly shut down The Bachelorette runner-up’s shots of being the next Bachelor after he was spotted getting drinks in Soho with none other than the beautiful Hadid. Days after he left Hannah Brown’s new LA home ! (In very comfy attire, and in the early morning, so take that as you will.) It’s safe to say that Tyler is embracing his newly single status, as he should, the poor guy just got his heart broken on national television after Hannah rejected his heartfelt proposal. But Chris Harrison isn’t too impressed . “If Tyler is bouncing round from girl to girl and loving the life and enjoying the limelight, which, by the way, good on him. That’s fine,” Chris told Entertainment Tonight. “If that’s what you want to do right now, I don’t blame him.” “He’s probably enjoying life really, really well — but that’s not someone we’re going to want to have as our Bachelor or Bachelorette ,” he stated. “So, it’s about sincerity. It’s about where you are in your life. And if that’s where he is in his life, then he’s not the guy for us.” Ouch! Bachelor Nation is probably feeling a tad bummed right about now. But hey, as long as Tyler is happy — we’re happy, right guys?! Cameron and Hadid met through Instagram, but apparently they have a few mutual friends in the modeling industry. “She knew of him before he got any wind of fame from the Bachelorette,” an insider told E! News . And yes, the date went really well, because according to E!, there are many more in store for Tigi. “Gigi thinks Tyler is really cute and nice and liked that he was a good listener,” shared the source. “They have been texting for weeks and have plans to hang out again while Tyler is in NYC.” “They are both taking things slow but have both made it clear they are interested in each other.” So yeah… sounds like we can pretty much kiss the idea of seeing Tyler on our TV’s anytime soon goodbye. And as for his future with Ms. Brown? Well, despite the obvious sparks that are flying between Gigi and Tyler, it sounds like he is still open to see what the future holds for him and Hannah. But with her living in LA now, geographically, it is not exactly the ideal dating situation. “Tyler saw Hannah in LA and they had a good night and a good talk.” wink, wink, “But it’s probably not going to amount to much right now,” a second source tells E! . “She moved to LA and he doesn’t live there.” “They agreed to keep talking, but that’s it for now,” the source added. “It’s geographically challenging.” With or without the Bachelor franchise, Tyler will be just fine. Even though Bachelor Nation may not be… IDK how many more plot twists we can take?! But to leave you with a piece of good news (you’re welcome) , Chris Harrison is keeping the Florida stud in mind for another ABC show, adding that Cameron would be a good contestant on Dancing With the Stars . “Tyler dances. He has the whole Footloose thing! he told ET on Monday, adding that Peter Weber and Mike Johnson are still in the running to be the next lead. “Let’s see who really is sincere at the end of the day, because we do have a couple of months before we have to start production and really get into this, so we have time.” View Slideshow: Tyler Cameron Photo Montage: Holy Hotness!

Standing 5 feet 8 inches Gabby Fé was used to hearing a common theme in comments about her appearance from her friends and family in Orlando, Florida . “When I was growing up people used to tell me like ‘Gabby you’re so pretty! You’re pretty and you’re tall. If you [would] only lose weight you can model but like you can’t, you know you can’t model the way you are.” In an exclusive interview with Hello Beautiful the sought-after model revealed how a surprise birthday present not only proved critics wrong but placed her on the cover of Plus Model Magazine .

She answered generic questions about herself and was dismissed with well wishes. Afterwards she returned home with her ambition in tow. “I just went back to my regular old life,” she explained. She was surprised to receive a call back from the company who insisted that she fly out immediately to appear in the ad. “I booked it. They flew me out to LA, in this beautiful penthouse suite. They had a driver and everything I felt like a celebrity or something. They gave me my own trailer. We were filming on Venice beach. It was so cool as my first experience.” View this post on Instagram Yellow is my favorite color. Ever since I wore a big yellow dress in my TJ Maxx Commercial I’ve been in love with this color.

Who is ready for warm weather and a big yellow sun? A post shared by Gabby Fé – Plus Size Model (@gabtheguru) on Mar 29, 2019 at 1:35pm PDT The luxury didn’t last long and when Fé wrapped the shoot she knew she wanted more. “After I got that opportunity I was like ‘This is a sign I need to move to New York City’. So I took my earnings from the commercial and moved to New York city and from that point I signed with two different agencies and the rest is history.” That history includes walking in shows at New York Fashion Week and leaving behind a part-time job at Forever 21 to spend days smizing on set. “I’ve working with a lot of different brands. It’s my full-time gig now.” She still has side hustle. A lifelong lover of music she recently began releasing music often working with producers to perfect her sound in between modeling gigs.

I’ve always had guys who have been attracted to me, but I haven’t always been attracted to myself. I was always uncomfortable in my skin because there weren’t a lot of plus-size girls around me. I was always the biggest girl in my friend group and I was always the biggest girl in class so I felt uncomfortable. But now that I’ve kind of grown into my own I feel more comfortable with my body and the way I look. I can tell that the guys that I date enjoy my beauty and who I am as a person, so it’s helped me to just accept who I am, come out of my shell and enjoy being looked at and complimented. I can take compliments now you want to tell me a compliment I can appreciate that now back then I couldn’t.” Her non-romantic relationships have evolved as well. Today her former critics are in awe of how she has expanded their view of what a ‘model’ looks like. “I think it’s like a new world to them and they never saw anything like it before.

According to the 22-year old herself, assuming we’re interpreting her latest Instagram message correctly, Sampaio has been hired to appear in an upcoming Victoria’s Secret campaign. And what, exactly, would make this notable and, as mentioned above, historic? Sampaio would become the first openly transgender model to pose for the lingerie company, which has been trying to rebrand of late. The Brazilian beauty just shared the photo featured here of herself sitting in a bathrobe backstage at what she writes was a photo shoot for the company’s PINK line on Long Island, New York. “Backstage click @vspink #bastidores #new #vspink #campaign #representatividade #diversity #beauty #selfie #model #life #fashion #usa #vstorm #valentinasampaio #bomdia,” Sampaio wrote. It’s unclear whether she also set the record for hashtags with this caption. Sampaio also posted a selfie video on this same account, making the same general reference to her Victoria’s Secret hiring. “Never stop dreaming genteee #staytuned #bastidores #new #vspink #campaign #representatividade #diversity #beauty #selfie #life #fashion #usa #vstorm #valentinasampaio,” she wrote, later adding: “Life is amazing… Love more and hate less, hate is useless, just do not waste time with it!” In a statement to E! News, Sampaio’s manager Erio Zanon praised his client for creating history with this “amazing and groundbreaking” news. “She is super happy and proud to represent all her community,” he says. “She hopes this opportunity shall be another step to break barriers.” For the record: Neither Victoria’s Secret nor its parent company, L Brands, have yet commented this seemingly huge announcement. It’s worth noting, though, that Sampaio’s hiring would come just as the company looks to rebrand amid declining sales — and following controversial remarks that the group’s chief marketing officer made last year about the idea of including transgender and plus-size models in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show… … which has since been canceled . Assuming Sampaio really is now a Victoria’s Secret model, the reaction online has mostly been very positive. With a few exceptions, of course, as you might expect. “First transgender to shoot with Vs! This make me so happy!” Victoria’s Secret Angel and fellow Brazilian model Lais Ribiero Tweeted on Saturday. “Wow finally!” added fellow transgender star, LGBTQ+ activist and Orange Is the New Black alum Laverne Cox. In 2017, Sampaio also made fashion history by becoming the first transgender model to appear on the cover of a Vogue publication, specifically Vogue Paris. We’ll update this story when/if Victoria’s Secret itself makes a statement. But what do you think about this apparent major piece of news?

One of the issues Rih has is with how easy it was for these gunman to legally acquire weapons. “Your country had 2 terrorist attacks back to back hours apart leaving almost 30 innocent people dead,” she wrote in Instagram under his tweet about the El Paso shooting. “This, just days after yet another terrorist attack in California, where a terrorist was able to LEGALLY purchase an assault rifle (AK-47) in Vegas, then drive hours to a food festival in Cali leaving 6 more people dead including a young infant baby boy!” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.

Instead of focusing on issues like gun control he prioritizes immigration and his notorious wall he wants built to stop immigration from Mexico. “Imagine a world where it’s easier to get an AK-47 than a VISA!,” she added. “Imagine a world where they build a wall to keep terrorists IN AMERICA!!!
